Suffering is a necessary evil.

“ I’m happiest when I’m moving. When you’ve cut yourself off from the life you’ve been living, and you haven’t yet established another life, you’re free. That’s a very pleasant sensation, I’ve always thought. If you don’t know where you’re going, you’re even freer.”

The things that have molded you will be constructs that you — and only you — will have to dismantle for yourself.
